She sounded really traumatized.
. That' song is actually my favorite part of Heavu Metal, just that into to Harry Canyon's segment with it playing. Too good.

This is probably true (I've rewatched the early episodes, but I haven't gotten around to the second half yet), but I feel like the overall experience of Penguindrum was a rich and rewarding one. It's definitely messy at times, but it's ambitious as hell, and I love that. The show definitely suffers some from a lack of consistency, but the best moments in the show can be up there with the best in any show, and it has a really phenomenal ending.
It's flawed at times, but I'll take a flawed show trying to do something different (and very thematically rich) over a well put together show doing nothing new any day of the week.

Penguindrum is a meandering mess of various plots that go absolutely nowhere. If you want to call it an interesting failure, that's fine. But it is still a failure.

I really don't think Penguin Drum is a bad show because that would seem to apply a complete failure. I really don't think that it fails to achieve it's objectives, I just think it's incredibly inconsistent about how it meets its goals.
It's certainly a polarising title though and the variety of responses it has garnered says as much about the type of viewers who consume it as the title itself. For example, I've even come across those who says that the show is basically excellent which I really can't understand.
that sounds dangerous when you consider how many flawed shows there are out there compared to the meager handful that are actually well-made. Chances are at least one of those flawed light-novel-adapted shows is gonna slip up and do something different and then you'll be stuck watching "My little Sister is actually a devil but I need to grope her to save the world"

Oh....my. I'm just gonna....
Yeah, I think I'm just gonna stick with this. Where can this be watched?
Not sure if serious or not, but eh, I thought the dub was all right.
And a fantastic ED by coaltar of the deepers! I wanna hear the Yurikuma ED if it's even as good.

I think that's an actual show airing this season.
Edit: Yeah, that one, Testament of the New Sister Devil. What a name.
THANKS FUNI
Funi picked that up over a week ago.
Oh no.

Hm... Strange...
This show feels a bit like AnoHana so far.

It's good thing Funi are so speedy at getting their releases out.

I've basically heard someone describe that show as "AnoHana is the cast was about 10 years old". Sounds like there's lots of 'moe girl drama'.

Hopefully it's one of those shows that is on both services, can't justify subscribing to both. If not i can wait for them to put it on Youtube at the end of the season.

I can watch that. As long as it doesn't go totally overboard like Hanayamata at least.

I have fear that I will get Doom 3 flashbacks.

Oh boy.
There is. And some other drama. Doing some research, I found out who the writer of this show was.
It's Naoki Hisaya. You know what else he wrote? Kanon.
You know what Kanon's part of? KEY.
That fact alone literally explained this show to me.
Especially its ending.
If nothing else, Ikuhara won't beat around the bush when it comes to yuri.

Well then.
Good news!

I imagine they're just doing phased announcements.
That's why I'm expecting them to get Dog Days'' too. They've already got the first two seasons, so the third is basically a lock.
Doesn't look like anybody has Milky Holmes TD, though. My Japanese is good enough that I can understand it without a simulcast, it just makes it a little more costly to support the creators.
